[CentOS] apache mysterious 404 error

Hi Tim,

It really helps both the web server and us if you are consistent with both
spelling and capitalisation. I don't know whether you retyped stuff into
your posting or copied and pasted it, but if you look below you will see
at least these variations:

/mycopmanyStore/
/mycompanystore/
/mycpmpanystore/
/mycompanyStore/

And your original posting showed the path as containing /mycomanystore/ (without p)

Always copy-and-paste if possible, rather than inaccurately re-typing, so
we are not trying to help you with the wrong problem!

In addition, if you are indeed using symlinks to point at the real directories
or files, you need to make sure that Options FollowSymLinks is enabled in your
httpd configuration file.

Cheers
Tony
